As I've discussed before, the Lightner family focuses on developing both their physical and spiritual destructive power. To this end, their ability to cleanly mix their Spirit Weapon and their Hakuda is absolutely crucial to getting as powerful as possible.
To that end, for Master in this skill, I'm going for a depiction of Lucas' natural usage of this skill in tandem with his Hakuda. Each fight listed, and the goal being stated over 18 years ago by Lucas' father in See You Later, Dad, adds to this fact.
But for an absolute symphony of this, look particularly at Just One Night with Saya. Although Lucas builds up to that second nature-level of comfort fighting like this in Pardon My Mess, I'd say that Saya forces him to achieve it in their fight.
Shigure, then, would be the unfortunate victim of his Mastery -- and I think that fight showcases it well!
For a (hopefully) Third Mastery, I believe this is an acceptable demonstration.

You've fought a lot--can't really take that away from you. Two of these are a little action-thin when it finally comes to blows, but I have to compliment that none of these threads reads like an overt quest for Mastery, so, in that regard I am pleased with what I read. There is a clear mission from the solo that propels Lucas forward as a fighter, as a combatant, and I have to wonder just how far his dogged determination is going to ultimately be able to carry him.
